SOIL EXPLORATION
Date: 08/05/2025
Time: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST
Credit: 1 Hour
COURSE INTRODUCTION & OUTLINE:
This Webinar Course will provide valuable insight as follows:
This Webinar will cover/describe the genesis and composition of soil, the distinction between pore water pressure and inter-granular effective stress, capillary action of fluids in the soil pore spaces, soil classification, seepage and permeability, time dependent change of volume due to squeezing water out of tiny pore spaces, also known as consolidation, shear strength and stiffness of soils. The shear strength of soils is primarily derived from friction between the particles and interlocking, which are very sensitive to the effective stress. The presentation will conclude with some examples of applications of the principles of soil mechanics such as slope stability, lateral earth pressure on retaining walls, and bearing capacity of foundations.
